Re: Encoding/characterset/font family confusion

..., and I catch you, I'm going to punish you by making you peel onions
for 6 months in a submarine. I swear I will.

Good luck with the onions!

And one more thing: IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

I completely disagree. The theory is not hard at all, but the difference
between strings and texts is one that I have never encountered on the
web. Encodings simply are not linked with the strings themselves, and
that makes it almost impossible. And it is really hard to find which
programs do translate encodings, and which don't. MySQL alone has far
too many encoding settings that are counter-intuitive at best. Also, the
complete lack of proper escaping possibilities makes it even more
difficult, unless you want to escape the characters by turning them into
HTML entities.
